These are the simplest modules to install. Their installation consists only of copying the module's files in the aproppriate folders in PHP-Nuke. There are no
changes to the original tables and no new tables involved.
These modules may consist of only a public part, only an administration part , or both. But how tell if a certain module requires a database modification or not? Generally, a module package comes
with the following folders:
html
html/modules
html/admin
html/images
html/sql
This is a container folder that is not involved in the installation.
The subfolders of this folder constitute the public part of the module and should be copied under a directory with the module's name in the PHP-Nuke modules
folder.
The subfolders of this folder constitute the administration part of the module and should be copied under PHP-Nuke's admin folder.
Contains any images used by the module. Its contents should be copied in the PHP-Nuke images folder.
Contains the file with all the necessary modification commands for the database, if any. It is the existence of such a file (sometimes not with the .sql ending) that suggests that the module in
question requires changes in the database. However, its absence is not a sure sign that such a change is not needed at all: some modules will make their changes to the database on-the-fly, e.g.
through some install.php PHP script that we will have to open with our browser during installation.
